Hi guys,

after seeing this thread, it sparks me up to venture to mod my current head phone cables.

few question might need some of your help:

1. Recommendation of places to get good / better quality cables

2. I am using Koss Porta Pro headset - worth upgrading?

3. How is that possible for me to make my porta pro to have male/female connector at the speaker. Photo attached as reference.

thanks in advance peeps.

hello~ Modding portapro yourself requires some courage and soldering skills.

1. You can get various type of cables from aliexpress/ebay or even lazada.

2. Yes, if you believe cable will changes your sound signature wink.gif not so say it may looks better after changing cable? biggrin.gif

3. I assume that you want to have detachable cable mod on your portapro, that will means you need to have a connector attached on your portapro.. Based on what I know, portapro have very small clearance at the driver so 3.5mm and any connector larger than that is most likely not able to fit in.

thanks for the feedback.

following to your inputs on cables in particular...I am actually expecting a better sound quality than outlook...my bad did not spell out clearly in my post.

types of cables:
mind to give my some tips what keyword to use to search?

For starters maybe you can search for some cheap IEM cables, some of them are well braided and soldered with 3.5mm connector. If you plan to direct solder you can always cut off the IEM connectors and solder it to your portapro

Any local source can buy pure silver wire? Looking for single strand 1mm-1.5mm but I only found some from Taobao China.

If you don't mind trying Mundorf Silver Gold you can try contact Octave Electronics for pricing

But isn't that Gold is not a good conductance as Copper? Silver has best conductance as I aware...

It has only 1% gold content, and i believe it's more of adding flavouring to the sound.

Would you mind of telling me where did you get the solder? Is that possible to source it locally?

By the way, have you tried the Cards Tri or Quad Eutectic solder?

That's a conductor wire, but mundorf do have solder as well, not sure Octave Electronics have them or not
